In March this year, Vistra set out its renewed purpose to partner with clients as they pursue their growth ambitions, helping them to drive progress and contribute to prosperity globally. This newly created role further reinforces the strategic importance of the North American market to Vistra as it seeks to support its clients' growth ambitions. As part of its strategy, the company will invest and grow its brand and scale in the US and Canada, two of the largest economies in the world.

The expansion of Vistra in North America is already underway with the recent appointments of Kristen Badgley to lead the US Corporate Solutions Commercial team and Chris Murphy in the US Fund Solutions team.
